[The Palace of Art]
[Lines not used in the final version]
One was Olympias: the floating snake
Roll'd round her ankles, round her waist
Knotted, and folded once about her neck,
Her perfect lips to taste,
Roll'd round her ankles, round her waist
Knotted, and folded once about her neck,
Her perfect lips to taste,
Down from the shoulder moved; she seeming blithe
Declined her head: on every side
The dragon's curves melted, and mingled with
The woman's youthful pride
Declined her head: on every side
The dragon's curves melted, and mingled with
The woman's youthful pride
